Geodesic Dreams by Bernardo Villela

A stiletto-pointed star shines

in a stained-glass sky.

As the Golgotha-gray star

twinkles on a town unseen,

the glasswork agleam

constructs geodesic dreams.

Recombinant lines can,

when rearranged over time

simulate realities and 

reimagined divinities.

The peaceful pall cast

images of a halcyon past.


Bernardo Villela has had poetry published by Entropy, Zoetic Press, and Bluepepper and forthcoming in Eldritch & Ether; and poetry translations in New Delta Review and AzonaL. You can read more about these and various other pursuits at www.miller-villela.com
